FOR USERS / MAINTENANCE
The service life of Rocket-H pellet burner parts depends heavily on correct maintenance. Below are indicative intervals based on our service experience, with answers to frequently asked questions.
| Part | Indicative service life |
|---|---|
| 01Ignition element | about 4 years on average |
| 02Parts exposed directly to the flame | after 20–30 t of pellets |
| 03Fan | 6–10 years on average |
| 04Pellet feed auger | 8–10 years |
Intervals are based on Rocket-H service statistics. Actual service life depends on maintenance, pellet quality and the burner’s operating mode.
According to Rocket-H service statistics, the ignition element is replaced on average once every 4 years, not every year. General pellet burner maintenance advice often quotes 1–3 heating seasons, but in a properly maintained Rocket-H burner the element usually lasts longer. Its service life is most affected by the maintenance routine and the cleanliness of the flue connector.
The service life of all burner parts depends heavily on correct maintenance. The cleanliness of the flue connector is especially important: when the pipe from the boiler to the chimney clogs, draught deteriorates and the burner parts work under harsher conditions. A regularly checked and cleaned flue connector is the simplest way to extend part life.
During the winter heating season we recommend checking the flue connector from the boiler twice, and cleaning it if ash or soot has built up.
Parts exposed directly to the flame should be replaced after roughly 20–30 tonnes of burned pellets. This interval is easier to measure in tonnes than in years, because annual consumption differs from house to house.
The Rocket-H burner fan lasts 6–10 years on average.
The Rocket-H pellet feed auger lasts 8–10 years.
